Then Paul replied, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart?

Increasing- Acts 9.35
So the church throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria enjoyed peace, as it was being built up; and as it continued in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it kept increasing.

Then, after two long years … Continue reading Ungodly Favors – Acts 24:27
